Plugging in for power
AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY: 120V~60Hz
Refer to the “Clock” section and
follow the instructions to get the
clock time shown correctly with the
Auto Clock set feature.
Battery back-up operation
• This clock radio is equipped with
a memory holding system that can
be powered with 2 “AA” batteries
(included). The power failure
protection circuit will not operate
unless battery is installed.
• When normal household power
is interrupted, or AC line cord
is unplugged, the batteries will
power the clock radio to keep
track of time and alarm settings
programmed into memory.
• When the battery backup functions,
the digital display will not light,
however, the function of alarm
still occurs during the power
interruption if remaining battery
power is adequate.
• Normal operation will resume after
AC power is restored so you will not
have to reset the time or the alarm.
To install batteries:
1. Remove battery compartment door
(located at the bottom of the radio)
by applying thumb pressure to the
tab on battery door and then lift
the door out and off the cabinet.
2. Insert 2 AA batteries (included).
3. Replace the compartment door.
Note: we recommend that you replace
the batteries every year.
Power failure indicator
When AC power is interrupted
(disconnected) for a short period of
time, both time and alarm settings
will change (unless batteries are
installed). After AC power is restored
(reconnected), the Digital Display
will blink to indicate that power was
interrupted and you should readjust the
time and alarm settings.
Power is fed to the unit even
when it is not functioning. To
cut the power supply off, the
power cable must be unplugged.
